KEY GAME INFORMATION

MINNESOTA: BACKCOURT: PG Ricky Rubio catches flak for his inability to shoot, but he's uniquely well-suited to this team. His savant-like court vision and highly underrated defense would be missed if he were moved. SG Zach LaVine appears to have improved in the offseason and may move up on the team's list of scoring options. Rookie PG Kris Dunn is NBA-ready, but he may have trouble getting minutes in a crowded backcourt. . . . FRONTCOURT: Many have C Karl-Anthony Towns among their top ten players in the league right now. That's a little much, but it seems like he's not that far away, either. SF Andrew Wiggins averaged 20 a game in his second season but still showed plenty of room for improvement, which says good things about his ceiling. PF Gorgui Dieng is a good role player alongside lots of guys who need the ball. . . . BOTTOM LINE: How much better can a young team get in a single season? Oozing with talent, Minnesota is a good candidate for a case study to answer that question. New coach Tom Thibodeau will keep the best players on the court plenty, but expectations are a bit too high.

NEW YORK: BACKCOURT: We've all accepted that PG Derrick Rose will never recover his MVP form, but he can still be a difference-maker if he plays within his own limitations. PG Brandon Jennings has already earned the love of MSG in the preseason, and he'll bring emotional leadership and quick scoring off the bench. SG Courtney Lee is a steady but unexciting option on the wing, which is maybe what this backcourt needs. . . . FRONTCOURT: SF Carmelo Anthony tends to be the best version of himself when surrounded with a competitive roster, which he is now. PF Kristaps Porzingis was everything Knicks fans dreamed of in his rookie campaign, looking highly skilled and entirely unafraid against NBA competition. He faded somewhat over the course of the long season, which is common for rooks. Just how much gas C Joakim Noah has left in the tank is to be determined. . . . BOTTOM LINE: How these pieces will gel under coach Jeff Hornacek is anyone's guess'there are plenty of volatile personalities. The talent is there, though, and almost everyone here is playing with a chip on his shoulder.

PREVIEW

Towns, Porzingis square off again when Knicks host Twolves

Karl-Anthony Towns and Kristaps Porzingis are redefining the role of the NBA big man.

The 7-0 Towns, last season's Rookie of the Year, and the 7-3 Porzingis, the runner-up, are imposing figures down low but can spread the floor with their ability to hit 3-pointers. And they aren't confined to the block, preferring to drift on the wing or at the elbow.

The two 21-year-old giants will meet for the second time in three nights on Friday when Porzingis and the New York Knicks host Towns and the Minnesota Timberwolves at Madison Square Garden.

Towns dropped in a career-high 47 points and grabbed 18 rebounds on Wednesday in Minnesota, but the Timberwolves (5-13) dropped a 106-104 decision to the Knicks (9-9) on Carmelo Anthony's jumper with 2.3 seconds to play. Since the 2003-04 season, Anthony has the most game-winning shots in the final five seconds of a game with 15.

Porzingis led New York with 29 points and eight rebounds. He's shooting at a 40-percent clip from 3-point range, including 44 percent (13 for 34) in his last five games.

Towns is 27 of 72 (.375) from the beyond the arc. He attempted 82 3-pointers all of last season.

"We are two big men that can kind of change the game," Porzingis said. "We didn't play too much against each other, but he was being super-aggressive.

"He was driving to the basket, shooting from the outside, playing in the post. He was doing everything. We had trouble stopping him, but I'm happy we got the win."

Towns, who is friendly with Porzingis, took Wednesday's loss to heart, even though he became the youngest player in Timberwolves history to score at least 40 points.

"I had some miscues where I let things slide away," Towns said. "I missed three free throws, missed some rebounds, missed some shots I should have made."

Porzingis saw some time at center as Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek prefers to play a "small" lineup with Anthony and three guards, leaving center Joakim Noah on the bench. Noah sat out Wednesday's game with an ankle injury.

It's the third game this season Noah has missed because of injury or illness. He's averaging four points and 8.4 rebounds in his first year with the Knicks. Kyle O'Quinn started at center in Noah's absence.

New York may also be without starting shooting guard Courtney Lee, who exited Wednesday's game with a left ankle sprain. If he is unable to go, Hornacek will look to a combination of Justin Holiday and Brandon Jennings, who has two games of 11 assists off the bench, to pair with Derrick Rose in the backcourt.
